Ian got my unit out and to me in 4 days. I went with a 48v because he had it in stock. My origional plan was to run 2 banks of 24v so I'd have some redundancy.
So far the unit looks pretty good, heavier then I expected from what I had read some places about these being light. Guess that is subjective I have a 3k watt set down converter so I can run 120 off this 230v unit to test it here at my house before I ship it to the Philippines and that convertor is as heavy as this whole unit.
One thing I'm surprised and a bit worried to see is that it calls for 2awg but the terminals are 1/4 inch.( Or whatever metric equivilant it is) seems too wimpy to me.


I have 50 foot of 1/0 4 conductor power cord here I was planing to use but I don't have a lug anywhere near that small for that size wire.

Thanks to Ian for his help and getting this out to me so fast. Now if my battery cells would get here
